Rivieres: a taste of paradise on Earth nearby Albi

Albi is one of the sunniest towns in France, with more than 2100 hours of sunshine annually, thanks to the vent d’autan, a strong south easterly wind which protects the area from rainfall. The episcopal city, which includes the Berbie Palace, the Saint Salvi church and its cloisters, the Sainte Cecile cathedral, the Tarn river banks and the Pont Vieux as well as several other very well-known buildings classified as historic monuments, is very famous. Enjoy tasting foie gras, tripes and bougnettes at your holiday rental in Albi, France.

Arriving at your holiday accommodation in Rivieres, just a stone’s throw from Albi in Midi-Pyrénées, you’ll be transported by the view of the episcopal city over the left bank of the Tarn. Start your visit at the magnificent Sainte Cecile cathedral, built out of red brick in the 13th century and strengthened on a rocky peak. Continue on to the palais des eveques and palais de la Berbie, where the Toulouse-Lautrec museum and other historic monuments of the city are located.
